In the summer Lewisham Model Market is the local spot for cocktails, beers, rum, and street food from around the world. Get there before 7pm to save yourself the £3 entry fee, try the ribs and the pina colada in a pineapple. Open Fridays and Saturdays from 4pm - 2am. DJ from about 7pm. Its partly covered but open air, so dry evenings are best! Most buses from the end of Bargery Rd (Bromley Rd) go to Lewisham in 10mins.
